Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2621

'What the heck is happening?' Lith could have stopped her at any time, but due to his ignorance about elven customs, he was afraid of ruining the mission with a rude gesture before it even started.

'Don't worry, it just means that the Parliament has fallen for your act.' Aalejah replied. 'Offering themselves as a mate is the greatest honor that an elf can make to a guest. If you reject her, it would be the same as throwing her hospitality in her face.'

'How can your people have such a moronic custom?' He asked while the elf woman's hands ran over his body, acquiring a solid understanding of the shape of his back and buttocks.

'Elves live for very long and have a very low fertility.' Aalejah explained with a calm he didn't share. 'Women try as many partners as they can to increase their chances of pregnancy. That's why we are divided into clans instead of families.

'In your case, even though my people aren't fans of hybrid children, Divine Beasts have amazing reproductive prowess and powers.

'From her point of view, having the opportunity to carry a baby capable of spewing Origin Flames and using Dragon Eyes is quite a catch. It would push her from the warrior caste straight to nobility.'

'And from my point of view, it means divorce!' Lith replied with a snarl. 'How do I get rid of her?'

He followed Aalejah's instructions, pushing the clingy elf away gently but firmly before saying:

"Forgive me for my rudeness, milady, but this isn't the time or the place." Lith nodded at Faluel and Ajatar who were moving their gazes from him to their respective hosts with an awkward expression on their faces.

"Also, it's not my custom to even consider sharing my bloodline with people whose name I don't know nor them mine."

"Oh." She froze in her place, looking around the clearing and discovering that aside from those tasked with the diplomatic mission, the rest of the unit was sniggering at her expense, whispering unflattering comments that she could hear clearly.

"I'm very sorry, my Lord. Please, forgive my outburst. I'm Le'Ahy Birdsong, at your service." She fell down to her knees, her head down so that her hair could hide the flush of her cheeks and the humiliation she felt.

'I can forgive you alright. The problem is if Kami will forgive me.' Lith swallowed a lump of saliva, glad for the first time in his life that Solus wasn't with him.

"Please, stand up, Le'Ahy. I'm Qisal the Voidfeather Dragon." Lith used the name of the young Wyvern he had fought against to make sure they wouldn't recognize him and revealed his Divine Beast side simply because there was no faking it.

"No harm, no foul. Yet know that until our business is concluded, I have no intention of delving into personal matters of any kind."

"I understand." She stood up, giving him a deep bow before straightening herself.

"Welcome among us, cousin. May the World Tree share with us their blessing." The male elf in front of Aalejah was clearly impressed by her enchanted Yggdrasill staff that Lith had bonded with the best mana crystal Athung could provide.

"Le'Ahy has already introduced herself. I'm Nemar Arrowleaf and they are Rem'Na Bladewing and Tharn Windborn. What brings you and your friends to our colony?"

"Greetings." She gave him a small bow while using her left hand to hide the right one and drew some quick runes in the air.

They were ancient elven non-magical symbols that informed her host that she was there of her free will and that those behind her were trustworthy. Had she performed them in the open or at all, the guards would have classified the group as invaders and acted accordingly
